Information
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
• The steering effort may be high
immediately after placing the igni-
tion switch in the ON position.
This happens as the system per-
forms the EPS system diagnostics.
When the diagnostics are complet-
ed, the steering wheel effort will
return to its normal condition.• When the battery voltage is low, you
might have to put more steering
effort. However, it is a temporary
condition so that it will return to
normal condition after charging the
battery.
• A click noise may be heard from the
EPS relay after the ignition switch is
in the ON or LOCK/OFF position.
• Motor noise may be heard when the
vehicle is at a stop or at a low driv-
ing speed.
• When you operate the steering
wheel in low temperatures, abnor-
mal noise may occur. If the temper-
ature rises, the noise will disappear.
This is a normal condition.
• When an error is detected from the
EPS, the steering effort assist func-
tion will not be activated in order to
prevent fatal accidents. Instrument
cluster warning lights may be on or
the steering effort may be high. If
these symptoms occur, drive the
vehicle to a safe area as soon as it is
safe to do so. Have the system
checked by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possi-
ble.
Tilt Steering / Telescope
Steering
When adjusting the steering wheel to
a comfortable position, adjust the
steering wheel so that it points
toward your chest, not toward your
face. Make sure you can see the
instrument cluster warning lights and
gauges. After adjusting, push the
steering wheel both up and down to
be certain it is locked in position.
Always adjust the position of the
steering wheel before driving.
i
When abnormality is detected
in the electric power steering
system, to prevent a deadly
accident, the steering assist
function will stop. At this time,
the warning light turns on or
blinks on the cluster. The
steering wheel may become
difficult to control or operate.
Have your vehicle checked
immediately, after moving the
vehicle to a safe zone.
NEVER adjust the steering
wheel while driving. This may
cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
